- Two reorgs in six months that were terribly executed. The first was branded as a "choose your own adventure" scenario that turned out to be an illusion of choice that tanked morale and productivity. The second reorg (layoff) made things much worse - but don't worry, we got new snacks in the office!
- An almost comical lack of transparency. Although I got a good laugh out of the "computer buyback program" being marketed as a perk.
- Leadership failing to take any accountability (ironically, a core value) instead pointing the blame on employees for not "executing" (another core value).
- Leadership pretends to listen to employee concerns but do not act on it or follow up. The best you get is a 15 min Zoom chat or a haphazard slack saying "don't worry, we're working on it"
- Unrealistic performance goals seem to materialize out of thin air
- Pay is not competitive, although they've been "working on it" for over a year
- Culture has deteriorated completely. The latest attempt to revive it "hey why don't you go out to dinner and I'll foot the bill" - something something something accountability.
- Stock options would be exercised at a loss for the majority of employees that are able to do so
